In a comparative analysis of high, medium, and low Si-accumulating plants such as rice, cucumber, and tomato, it was observed that Si transport is facilitated by transporters (Km value 0.15 mM) across the cortical cells, whereas Vmax value followed a decreasing trend from rice to cucumber to tomato, thereby showing a significant variation in the transport density.

The specific capacitance shows a decreasing trend with the current densities increase, which is due to the gradually reduction of protons entering to the inside of active materials, and thus causing a transfer of redox reactions gradually from the inside of Mn 3 O 4 nanoparticles to the surface of electrode [ 45 , 46 ].

Notably, long-term analysis revealed that anti-PCSK9 antibody titer peaked at week 8 and remained constant up to week 10, and then revealed a decreasing trend ( Figure 5 A ).

Further, long-term analysis revealed that anti-PCSK9 antibody titer reached peak levels at week 8 and remained constant up to week 10, and then showed a decreasing trend ( Figure 2 A ).

In our study, from the full dose group to the tapering and discontinuation group, the proportion of patients who maintained a response showed a decreasing trend (91.7%, 85.4%, and 72.9%).

Overall, mean long-term population growth rate was consistently biased high for models that did not account for detection probability with the exception of a decreasing trend in detection probability (Scenario 11; Fig 3 ).

The viability of HepG2 cells showed a decreasing trend with the increase of the concentration of nano-β-TCP and incubation time.

Our results yielded an interesting linear relationship of TD with the income as increasing household income had a decreasing trend in the prevalence of TD and vice versa.

In addition, we also observed a decreasing trend in the plasma Trp concentration in the DS-TB group compared with the HC group, with the difference being significant (19.05±6.11 μM vs 23.21±5.35 μM, p =0.044).

lumbricoides which showed a decreasing trend in the number of latrines with viable eggs in their sludge, all other organisms did not show any trend.

Tests for time dynamics showed a decreasing trend throughout the experiment ( Fig 1 ).

In validation analyses using real-time PCR, a significant decrease was detected in the expression of Gh , and a decreasing trend was observed in the expression of Prl (Fig. 5 ).

In hospitalized patients, however, such a decreasing trend in the number of samples was not observed.

As shown in Figure 9 , with the increase in cycles, the removal rate of antibiotics by GAC-Fe presented a decreasing trend.

All prevalences show a decreasing trend between 2008 and 2016 except those related to children of foreign mothers.

The estimated ontogenetic morphological disparity shows a decreasing trend of morphological disparity (between and within species) of juveniles during settlement, followed by a drastic increase of disparity when the fishes reach the recruitment phase and become adults (Fig. 3 ).

The social acceptance of tobacco smoking in developed countries is currently being reduced by various measures, tobacco-control polices, including ban on cigarette smoking in public places, anti-marketing fights in the public media, and heavy taxation on tobacco products.[ 30 , 31 ] Such a decreasing trend in social acceptance of tobacco smoking does not seem to exist in developing countries such as Iran.[ 32 ] Results of the present study showed that female students considered cigarette much obscener than hookah.
